Almond Flour Mozzarella Sticks

Ingredients

1 brick ( 200g / 7 oz) of Mozzarella, cut into sticks and frozen overnight
1/2 cup coconut oil or other frying oil
1/2 cup blanched finely ground almond flour
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1 egg
Marinara or pasta sauce, optional for dipping

Procedure:

Place cheese sticks in the freezer overnight, at least 12 hours.
When you’re ready to cook, add the oil to a medium-sized frying pan and heat on medium-high heat
Meanwhile, combine almond flour, seasoning and salt on a plate. Set aside.

Crack egg into a bowl and whip with a fork for 1 minute.
One at a time, take a frozen cheese stick and cover it in egg. Then, transfer over to the almond flour mixture and coat the stick in batter. Make sure that it’s well coated. Set on a clean plate and repeat with remaining frozen cheese sticks.

Place completed sticks into preheated oil and fry for 10-15 seconds per side. When they’re golden all over, transfer to a cooling rack to allow the excess oil to drip off.
Serve immediately. With dip or on it’s own.
